Welcome to the Practice Room

This is your space to warm up, try things, and ask questions between lessons. The Studio Bot is here to keep you company while you draw — it can give you warmups, toss you a drawing challenge with real artwork to work from, or just answer that "wait, how does perspective work again?" question at 11pm when I'm not around.

A few things to know:

• It's not me. It's a practice buddy with my teaching notes loaded in. Think of it as the helpful friend at the next easel — not your instructor.

• Upload your work. It loves seeing what you're making. It'll cheer you on. If you want actual feedback, just ask — otherwise it's just going to be excited you showed up.

• Ask for a challenge. Say "give me a quick draw challenge" and it'll pull a painting from a museum collection for you to sketch from. Timed, no pressure, all practice.

• It won't replace your lessons. Draw-overs, video feedback, and real critique — that's still me. This is for the in-between.

Grab your sketchbook. The room's open.
